DBasia.news – English Premier League promotion club Aston Villa officially won their seventh recruit this summer after redeeming Ezri Konsa from Brentford at 12 million pounds.
The 21-year-old defender has passed a medical test, and the person will immediately fly to the United States to follow his teammate to undergo preseason.
Konsa recorded 42 appearances for Brentford last season, including when they beat Villa 1-0 in February. He is also now reuniting with his former manager Dean Smith at Villa Park.
“Ezri matches the profile of the player we are looking for,” Smith said.
“It’s very helpful that Richard O’Kelly and I worked with him before. He is a potential player who I’m sure can play in the Premier League and I can’t wait to get back to working with him.”
